Let's take a look at the Athletics defense alignment without Josh Reddick.
The Oakland A's have called up outfielder Jake Smolinski from Triple-A Nashville and placed right fielder Josh Reddick on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured left thumb, the club announced. Reddick broke his thumb Thursday night against the New York Yankees when Yankees second baseman Starlin Castro's spikes stepped on a sliding Reddick's hand accidentally as Castro was running to recover a wide throw from catcher Brian McCann.
Oakland now has 12 players on the disabled list, the most the A's have had on the DL simultaneously since the club began tracking trips to the disabled list in 1989.
